    Hi.

    I'm running Cadence Composer under AIX, and I'm wondering if I can set
    the default window size and placement of the msfb window. For example,
    for emacs, I can set these things in my .Xdefaults using the geometry
    resource:

    Emacs.geometry: 145x45+130+130

    I've tried something like

    msfb.geometry: 145x45+130+130

    but that doesn't work. Of course, I have no idea if I'm using the
    correct widget names, etc. Any other ideas?

    Thanks.

  2. Firtst the window you mean is called CIW
    (Command Interpreter Window)

    Look in your installation directory
    under
    <install_dir>/tools/dfII/cdsuser
    you'll find a sample .Xdefaults file

    ! ********************************************************
    ! * These resources set the default position of the CIW. *
    ! ********************************************************
    !
    !Opus.x: !!!(screen_width - Opus.width)/2
    !Opus.y: 0
    !Opus.width: 725
    !Opus.height: 130
    ! *** Or you can use the geometry specification
    ! *** if you don't want to use the x,y,width,height
    ! *** resources independently
    !Opus.geometry:


    or use SKILL and put in you $HOME/.cdsinit file

    hiFlush()
    hiResizeWindow(hiGetCIWindow() list(x1:y1 x2:y2))

    All things done at the X11 level may not load depending on the login
    manager and desktop you are using. The ~/.X* file may not be loaded by
    your desktop session, and it gets worse with the CDE/dt init files:
    "modern" desktops completely underestimate backward compatibily with
    athena/motif/CDE.
    Best keep everything in .cdsinit , I even avoid the .cdsenv
